With a grin, he pulled himself free of her body and stepped into the bathroom to clean himself up and grab a pair of sweats from the walk-in closet. As he stepped back into the bedroom, he caught Alana’s stare as she watched him walk toward the bed.
She lay on her side, her knees drawn up, one hand under her cheek. She appeared deep in thought, and he wondered what was going through her mind. If he concentrated hard enough, would he be able to tell, or could he only gauge her emotions, her stresses?
He winked and turned to leave the room, giving her some privacy. He found Aiden at the table, his eyes glued to the laptop.
“What are you looking at?” Noah asked, but he had a feeling whatever it was, he wouldn’t like.
Aiden sighed and slowly closed the laptop. “Why didn’t we look into this sooner?”
“What are you talking about?” Noah asked as he opened the fridge and reached for the steaks he had inside.
“You don’t need to cook. I ordered pizza.”
Noah sighed and put the steaks back in the fridge. He noticed Alana’s clothes folded on the counter and realized Aiden must have retrieved them already. He walked over and grabbed them.
“Noah—”
“I really don’t want to talk about this, Aiden. They both left us. Mom, then Dad. Let it go.”
Noah headed down the hall, but Aiden’s words stopped him cold.
“What if I don’t want to let it go?”
Turning to stare at his brother, Noah wasn’t sure how to deal with this. He wanted to let it go. He wanted to forget either of them had ever existed. Finally, he sighed and said, “Do what you want, Aiden. Just leave me the hell out of it.”
“What are the two of you fighting about?” Alana asked worriedly from behind Noah.
He turned and smiled slightly, trying to brush it off and lessen the troubled look in her eyes. “We’re not fighting,” he replied as his gaze wandered down her long legs, visible beneath the hem of one of his flannel shirts. A pair of his socks covered her feet, and he tried to fight a chuckle.
She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him in disbelief. “You’re upset with him.”
Noah stepped closer and put his palm against the wall, leaning in. “Are you trying to take up for him?” he asked in amusement.
Her chin rose in defiance. “Maybe.” Her chin dropped a little as a cloud moved over her face. “It’s the weirdest thing. I sensed you were upset. I can’t explain it.”
Noah could, but he chose not to say anything. Instead, he took her hand and led her back to the living area, laying her clothes on the recliner as he passed by.
“Aiden ordered pizza for dinner. It should be here shortly.”
“Good, I love pizza. I think I could eat it every day.”
Noah grinned. “Me too.”
Alana watched as Noah and Aiden tried to appear relaxed in front of her, but she could tell things were tense. Had she made a mistake bringing up their mother? She wished she could take it back. She wished she hadn’t mentioned it and done a little more research on her own.
“Aiden, is everything okay?”
Aiden strolled toward her and used the pad of his finger to lift her chin. “Don’t second-guess yourself,” he whispered. “You did what you thought was right.”
She opened her mouth to ask how he could read her so well, but Noah walked in carrying the pizza. The smell filled the air, making her stomach growl, and she followed him to the table while Aiden went to retrieve plates.
“I didn’t even hear someone knock at the door,” she said in surprise as she stared at the bags in Noah’s hand.
“I saw his headlights when he pulled into the driveway,” Noah replied.
“How does Tray feel about this night off?” Aiden asked with a smile.
Alana chuckled. “Oh, he’s fine. He’s going through the footage and editing. He has just as much fun doing that as he does investigating.”
“How did you get started in this?” Noah asked as he opened the pizza box.
Alana took the piece he handed her and set it on her plate. “It started out as a special that went along with one of my books. It got such good ratings, the network approached us about doing a series.” She shrugged. “The rest is history.”
She glanced around at them before taking a deep breath. “What about your dad?” she asked. “Is he still around? Maybe he knows something about your mother.”
Noah and Aiden looked at each other briefly before Aiden turned to her and spoke. “Our dad disappeared on us several years ago. After our mother left, he withdrew and was hardly ever around until eventually he just disappeared altogether.”
“So you had both parents disappear on you?”
Aiden nodded. Alana glanced at Noah, and her stomach tightened at the haunted look in his eyes. He dropped his gaze, staring at his plate as he slowly picked at the pepperoni. She reached out and touched his arm. The muscles twitched, and his flesh warmed beneath her fingers. Something was wrong—wrong with all of this. Something just didn’t feel right, and she could tell that Noah struggled with it as well.
“At least we know now what happened to your mother,” she offered.
“No we don’t,” Noah replied with a shake of his head. “We know she was murdered a few days after she disappeared, but that’s all. I’m not going to speculate that she was kidnapped. She could have left with him willingly.”
She pointed at him. “You’re stubborn, do you know that?”
He looked at her with a lopsided grin on his face that seemed to erase some of the worry lines and tension. “I appreciate your trying to help, but we’ve lived with this for a long time. No point trying to change how we feel when we can’t get true answers. We would only be guessing at this point.”
“So we just don’t look into it at all, is that it?” Aiden asked, slightly miffed.
“I told you,” Noah replied. “If you want to look into it, be my guest. But keep me out of it.”
Alana sighed and set her napkin next to her plate. “I say we change the subject. The two of you can work this out when I’m not around. I have two gorgeous, hunky men at my beck and call, and I would prefer to find other things for the two of you to do rather than fighting.”
“Really?” Aiden asked as his brow raised and desire sparked in his dark eyes.
A shiver of delight ran down Alana’s spine.
“I think I could think of a few things too,” Aiden purred.
She could feel the wetness between her thighs grow as she imagined the two of them on either side of her, bringing her body to life once again. She took a bite of her pizza and slowly chewed. As she did, she kept her gaze on Aiden’s, and he smiled devilishly, which made her nipples harden in anticipation.
“Just watching the two of you is making me get hard,” Noah drawled.
Alana choked back a chuckle as she swallowed her bite of pizza. Once down, she covered her mouth and couldn’t stop the laughter that bubbled up.
“We’re not that bad,” she said with a giggle.
Noah scoffed. “Please. You’re looking at him like you could rip his clothes off, and he’s looking at you like he wants to throw you on this table and fuck your brains out.”
“I do,” Aiden said, grinning.
“At least you’re honest,” Alana said with a snicker.
“No point mincing words at this point,” Aiden drawled, making Alana giggle.
He was right. After what they’d done, why beat around the bush about things? She would have sex with them again tonight, maybe even more than once. They were incredible and made her feel things she hadn’t felt in…well, a long time, if ever.
The only thing that gave her pause was all the times she believed she could sense their feelings. Was that even possible? It was what they claimed happened between the two of them, but why would she be feeling it too? It had to be all in her head.
She frowned.
Right?
“Is something wrong?” Aiden asked.<
br />
Alana eased her facial muscles, making the frown disappear. “No,” she replied with a shake of her head. “I was just thinking.”
Noah reached out and gripped her chin, forcing her to face his penetrating gaze. “What were you thinking about that made you frown like that?”
She swallowed, knowing without a doubt that she couldn’t lie to him. He watched her as though he expected her to tell the truth. She would bet he never even considered the possibility that she would lie to him.
“I was just thinking about how sometimes I think I sense what you feel. There’re times I know I can feel that you’re mad or upset or worried. It’s weird, I know.”
“Trust me,” Noah said with a snort. “My brother and I are very familiar with weird.”
“How long have you been sensing that?” Aiden asked.
She turned back to him as she reached for another napkin. Pizza could be incredibly greasy, and she hated the feel of grease on her fingers for too long. “Just a few days. Truthfully, I think it’s just all in my head.”
“We used to think that too,” Aiden said as he reached for another piece. “It didn’t take us long to dismiss that idea.”
“Why? What happened?”
“Lots of things. Things we couldn’t explain. Things we couldn’t ignore. The sex thing was the most annoying. That’s when we started sharing. Made things easier and definitely more interesting.”
Alana grinned. “I bet. So…just how many women have you shared?”
Aiden’s lips twitched in amusement. “Jealous?”
The heat of a blush moved over her cheeks. “No,” she said, glancing down at her plate. “Just curious.”
“You really want to know?” Noah asked.
She sighed in silence, thinking. Did she really want to know? “On second thought…” she murmured.
Noah chuckled and leaned over, letting his lips tease the side of her neck, sending a shiver of excitement down her spine. “All you need to know,” he whispered, “is that we know what we’re doing.”
“I think you’ve already proven that,” she drawled softly.
Noah’s smile widened, and her heart skipped a quick beat in her chest. God, she was such a goner where they were concerned. Two men at once. She’d considered it, daydreamed about it. Earlier she’d gotten a little taste of what it would be like, and she loved every second of it. But both of them inside her at the same time? Just thinking about it made her pussy clench in need.
Could they tell?
Chapter Twenty
Alana stared into Noah’s dark gaze and had a gut feeling that they could. She quickly dropped her eyes and pulled a piece of pepperoni off her pizza. Hunger was the last thing on her mind at the moment. Sex was foremost. She opened her lips, placed the pepperoni on her tongue, and slowly chewed. As she did, her mind kept skipping back to the patio, replaying every touch, every kiss, and the way his cock had stretched her walls, filled her deep. She could still taste Aiden on her tongue as she swallowed the food.
She glanced at him through her lashes. His hair was slightly mussed, a day’s growth of whiskers covered his cheeks, and she imagined what they would feel like as they scratched against her skin. He wore a button-down shirt, but it was open, exposing his hard chest. She licked her lips as her gaze moved lower, taking in his washboard abs and strong hands—hands that had made her body shudder in delight, fingers that had teased her and made her want to scream for more.
Her heart pounded as she let her fork rest against the edge of the plate. She pushed her chair back, letting it scrape along the floor. Both men looked up at her in surprise as she walked over to Aiden. He sat back, and she draped one leg over his thighs, straddling him.
Aiden’s hands slid beneath the edges of the shirt and gently stroked the outside of her thighs, igniting a fire so bright, she thought it might eat her alive.
“I like this,” he whispered.
Placing his hands at her ass, he tugged her forward, settling her pussy directly over his hard cock. She wiggled against the ridge beneath his jeans, sighing as the rough material rubbed against her sensitive lips.
He reached up with one hand and opened her shirt, spreading it wide so that her breasts were exposed. With a wicked grin, he leaned forward and licked across her nipple, making her shudder in delight.
Behind her, Noah gripped her hair at the base of her neck and tugged her head backward. His mouth landed over hers in a kiss that nearly sent her head spinning out of control. It was dark, sensual, deep, and hungry. His tongue delved into her mouth, taking complete control and demanding a response.
She gave him one, greedily returning his kiss. She couldn’t remember ever being this turned on. The intoxicating sensations left her feeling light-headed and brazen.
Aiden’s mouth latched onto the tip of her breasts, sucking it into her mouth. He bit down and the slight bite of pain mingled with pleasure made her gasp in surprise, but the sound was swallowed by Noah’s kiss—Noah’s incredible kiss.
He broke away and growled close to her lips. “We haven’t prepared her at all.”
“Then do it now,” Aiden murmured around the tip of her breast. “Before I undo my pants and take her here.”
“Don’t move,” Noah whispered.
“Fat chance of that,” she sighed as Aiden continued with the licking and biting of her nipple.
His words of preparing her barely penetrated her subconscious as Aiden lifted a hand, cupping her breast and pushing it upward toward his mouth. Her whole body tingled with pleasure and hunger that grew to a deafening roar within her ears.
They made her crazy. That’s all there was to it. Crazy and wild and horny and brazen. Had she really just walked over and sat on Aiden’s lap? She smiled, letting her head loll to the side as Aiden’s lips moved up along her neck. His teeth gently nipped at the sensitive flesh beneath her ear, and she shivered.
“Cold?” Aiden whispered.
“No. Far from it.”
Aiden’s hands settled around her waist, holding her close as his thumbs gently brushed over her ribs.
“Are we making you hot?” Aiden teased.
She scoffed. “You can’t tell?”
“Maybe I should check.”
Aiden’s hand slid between her legs from behind. Her mouth opened on a silent cry as his fingers gently stroked through the juices leaking from her labia. Her hips shifted backward, trying to force his fingers inside her, but he pulled them back, smearing her cream between the globes of her ass.
He brushed over the tight opening to her anus, and her muscles clenched in anticipation. The thought of him taking her there was surprisingly exciting.
“Nice,” he murmured against her lips.
Alana’s mouth opened in anticipation of his kiss, but instead, he teased her by swiping his tongue over her bottom lip.
Noah’s hand rested against her shoulder, then slid slowly down her spine. Her skin tingled in response to the gentle touch.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” he whispered softly. “So I’m going to stretch you first. Do you trust me?”
Alana nodded, unable to string two words together. She was out of her mind with lust. She knew it. They knew it. It was likely she would come the second he slid whatever it was he planned to slide inside her.
Her fingers gripped Aiden’s shoulders as Noah lifted a clear plastic anal wand up for her to see. It was long but not as thick as Noah and was covered in cream so that it would enter her body easily.
Her breathing became even more erratic as Aiden used his hands to spread the globes of her ass. Noah placed the toy at her entrance and gently pushed. The tight ring of resistance gave way, allowing the toy to slip inside. Moaning, she leaned forward just a little so Noah could slide the toy deeper.
The cold, hard plastic stretched her walls, rubbing against her channel from the other side, and nearly sent her over the edge. She panted, trying to hold off her release. She wanted to be filled with both of them before she came. S
he wanted the three of them to be as one as they came together.
She believed she could sense that’s what they wanted as well.
Noah buried his face in her neck. His breath blew against her skin as his lips parted and his teeth scraped across the column of her throat.
“So hot,” he whispered. “Now take Aiden.”
Noah grasped her breasts from behind, holding her back as Aiden freed his thick, engorged shaft. Alana had a brief second of trepidation at his size and the equal thickness of his brother. Would this work? Could she take both of them?
Her heart raced almost out of control as Aiden placed the head of his shaft at her opening. All thought of worry or fear fled her mind as he began pushing his way inside her. Noah pinched her nipples, making her cry out in pleasure as Aiden went deeper, stretching her tight around his girth.
“Fuck, she’s tight,” Aiden groaned as his fingers dug into her hips, trying to hold her up and keep her from sliding down his length and taking every last inch of him inside her.
She could barely breathe and she gasped for air as she struggled to keep herself from screaming. Not from pain. Yes, there was a little, but the pleasure outweighed it by a long shot. Aiden spread his legs, which in turn spread hers, and she screamed as her weight dropped down on him, forcing him inside her balls-deep.
“Ah, yeah,” Aiden moaned. “That’s all of it, baby.”
She was full, consumed and so ready to burst, she could barely contain her need for more. Experimentally, she shifted her hips, and Aiden sighed his pleasure. Noah lifted a breast, offering it to Aiden, and he leaned forward, engulfing the tip in his mouth. Alana let her head fall back against Noah’s chest, completely trusting he’d be there to support her, to catch her if she fell.
“You’re so damn sexy, I could just stand here and watch,” Noah whispered. “But I want to feel that body too. I want to be buried in your ass when you explode between us.”
She swallowed and ground her hips against Aiden, forcing his cock deeper. Noah’s finger slid between the cheeks of her ass and tugged at the toy before pushing it back in, filling her deeper, forcing her to take even more.
